APRIL 17 WED 10.30am COFFEE MORNING:

HEREWEKA GARDEN RETREAT owners Anna Cooke and Peter Moore will talk about their trip to the more remote parts of China, and their beautiful garden at Hoopers Inlet. They share a love of plants; a passion that is evident in the diversity seen in the garden. Initially, several hundred rhododendrons, flowering cherries, magnolias and maples were planted, interspersed with large trees and herbaceous perennials, and over the years the garden has expanded to include even more varieties of plants. A recent development is a little valley with a Gondwana planting theme, including palms, cordylines and tree ferns. Everyone is welcome.

MAY 15 WED 10.30am COFFEE MORNING: A LIFETIME IN THE MAKING.

There will be the opportunity to purchase copies of the book Tony Williams: Goldsmith, which was published in 2018 (cash only, no eftpos available). Everyone is welcome.
